Hi, Chris. I have been using OSG 2.8.3 built as 64 bit shared libraries with VS2010 (no SP1) on 64 bit Windows 7 for several weeks now, with no real "problems".
Specifically with OSG, using CMake 2.8.3, I only had problems with the INSTALL target; it appears the .lib, .dll, and .exe files weren't where INSTALL was looking to copy from, so I had to move things manually to where INSTALL could find them. (There's probably been chatter on this, and I just missed it). I didn't suffer from the Hotfix issue that Qt 2.7.x calls out because I also use Qt in my app, and I built Qt first (so I got the hotfix). I won't go into the performance comments; you guys have pretty much covered all the bases. Hope this helps... D.J.
